In Ninjago, just outside of Stiix, the Ninja emerge from the house where the Preeminent was covering her left knee with and climb up her as she heads for the ship.
On the ship, Dragon turns to Cirrus. "Can we go any faster?" He asked.
"It's on full power." She replied.
"Head for that fog bank for cover!" Misako said, pointing to some fog.
The Preeminent keeps moving along the ocean, still pursuing the ship as Bansha soon came at the Ninja, but Nya sprays some water at her, causing her to disappear. Soul Archer's arrow hits between her and Blake as look to see him aim another one near Kai and fired it. "Kai, watch out!" Nya yelled as Kai dodges the arrow and falls off the ledge.
"I got you!" Cole yelled as held his hands out, but unfortunately, Kai passes through him. "I guess not."
Kai manages to land on a lamp support which was close to the ocean. "I can't swim!" He yelled.
"I can't get wet!" The support soon broke and Kai falls in but surfaces as Soul Archer aims his bow and arrow at him before he takes a deep breath and dives under so Soul Archer can't fire.
"You'll have to come up for air sometime, Red Ninja." He said as he laughed as Zane looked down to see Kai surfacing, gasping for breath.
"Kai!" Zane yelled. "Shoot fire now!"
"Fire!" Kai yelled, firing a burst of fire.
"Ice!" Zane fired a burst of ice. Both attacks hit Soul Archer and the combination turns the ice into water, due to being melted by the fire and Soul Archer disappears.
"Yeah!" Jay yelled.
"Fire and ice makes water." Geoff replied, stating the obvious.
"Nice!" Maggie said as Kai comes up near them.
"And one more ghost is toast." Jay replied.
"As iron sharpens iron-" Zane is soon cut off as he slid down a roof support.
"Brother sharpens brother!" Kai said, completing the phrase.
They all soon look up to see the Preeminent summon Bansha, Soul Archer and more ghosts out of her realm as Bansha laughs. "Are you kidding me?" Gewuji asked.
"Even our coolest moves aren't helping anything!"
They see the citizens on the ship looking frightened as the Preeminent is close to it. "We obviously aren't doing any good here." Blake said.
"We need to protect the ship!" Nya said.
"Ladies first." Jay replied as Nya, Gewuji and Maggie soon take off.
Gewuji and Maggie use Airjitzu to get to the ship as Nya looked on. "Wish I could do that." She soon jumped off. "Ninjago!" She fires bursts of water from her hands, like a booster and lands next to Dragon, Cirrus, Misako. Tania and Ronin as Gewuji and Maggie came up to them.
The male Ninja use Airjitzu to try and get to the ship before they land as they enter the fog bank. And the Preeminent is heard growling. "If we're gonna destroy the Preeminent, we're gonna have to do more." Dragon said.
"Speaking of more, we need more fuel." Cirrus replied.
"If we turn back now, we'll have just enough to get us to shore." Ronin said. "Otherwise, if we reach Hollows Trench, we'll be sitting ducks out there."
"Hollows Trench?" Geoff asked. "Do you think it's deep enough to drown that giant thing?"
"One way to find out." Dragon replied. "Full steamer ahead!" Dragon moves the gauge forward, increasing the speed.
It wasn't enough as the Preeminent was now at the back of the ship as some citizens scream as she soon slammed the back of it, breaking the propellor off. "Oh, no!" Cole yelled as he looked on from where he was.
"We just lost the propellor!" Gewuji yelled.
"Damn it!" Cirrus yelled. "Now or never, Dragon."
The portal soon opened, revealing Morro, who is holding the Realm Crystal as he lands on top of the Preeminent. "I did it." He said. "I finally got rid of you!"
The Preeminent roars as the citizens start moving about the ship while Nya looked at her, one accidentally bumping her, as Blake was behind Nya.
Nya soon thought about things that held her back, remembering a time when she ate ice cream, it fell off the cone and she cried.
And remembering a time she tired to play basketball, but failed and the kids laugh at her, except for two, her brother Kai and friend Clive.
"I can do this." She quietly said as she held her hands up slowly.
The water behind the Preeminent starts to rise up as everyone on the ship sees it. But it wasn't enough. It could only reach the Preeminent by half before something makes the wave raise higher. Nya turned to see it was Blake, who smiles at her. "Thought you could use a hand." He said as he held his hands out.
The big tidal wave immediately came up behind the Preeminent and engulfs her in it. "No-o-o-o!" Morro yelled as the Preeminent starts to go down, some ghosts starting to fade away.
On the ship, Nya and Blake knelt down, in exhaustion as Jay places an assuring hand on Nya while Cirrus came up to Blake and wrapped her arms around him as they watch the Preeminent sink as Morro quickly jumped into the air and held his hand out. But with his powers gone, he keeps stepping on whatever tentacles didn't go under as the ghosts around him start falling into the ocean and fade away.
Everyone on the ship soon cheered as Dragon soon ran to the stern section, conjured his Power Dragon and flies off to Morro as the last tentacle wrapped around him and starts dragging him into the ocean. "Take my hand!" He said, holding it out as he starts to come near the water.
"Why?! So you can take the Realm Crystal and use it to find your own prized pupil?"
"You are all my prized pupils, but none of us can do this alone. You're strong, Morro, but it takes others to make us stronger, even me. Take my hand so we can be stronger together. Please, Morro. I read the letter they found on your body. About what happened that day, I forgive you."
Morro soon took Dragon's hand, but couldn't find himself to be freed of the tentacle. As he looked at the tentacle for a bit, he soon looked back at his former master. "Like the last passage in my letter: You can only save those who want to be saved. Goodbye, Master." With his might, he trades his hand with the one with the Realm Crystal, slipping it into Dragon's hand as Morro starts to go under. "And train Blake on how to use my power well." As soon as he was knee deep, he soon faded away.
"Morro!"
On the ship, the Ninja raise their hoods as Blake moved forward. "I'll look after your powers, Morro." He said. "I promise."
It was now sunrise as the citizens were moving some oars or whatever boards they could find to bring the ship back to Stiix as Blake was holding his hands out to help them, with his power before he joins the others as Dragon held the Realm Crystal. He was about to raise before Gewuji stopped him. "Let me." She said.
Wu looked at her for a bit before smiling. "I see." He said. "You love him, don't you?"
Gewuji nods. "I love him." Wu hands her the Realm Crystal and she soon it high before a portal appears. Lloyd soon emerges from it and lands on the deck.
"Alright!" They all yelled.
"Lloyd, you made it!" Misako said, hugging her son.
"And so did you." Lloyd replied before they notice the cut on his jaw. "I'll live."
"Good to have you back, kid." Geoff said, patting his arm.
"You just missed-" Zane was soon cut off.
"Oh, I know what I missed." Lloyd said as he showed the Sword of Sanctuary. "I caught a glimpse of what would happen next, and knew Morro had to return alone." He soon sheathed the sword. "Just 'cause I'm the Green Ninja doesn't mean I have to save the day. Especially when I have friends to rely on."
"And that's why destiny chose you." Cirrus replied.
"It appears your father's robe has imparted wisdom, but you still have a lot to learn to earn the Master title." Dragon said.
"If that's the path I'm on, I'll take it one step at a time." Lloyd replied. "The Cursed Realm is gone. And so is my father. But I know we're all in a better place."
"Some of us may look different, but like our team, some things never change." Cole said.
"And if they do, that's ok." Nya said as they soon place their hands on each other. "Sometimes we just need to go with the flow."
"'Cause even if the path isn't always straight, we go forward with confidence because we trust where we're headed." Geoff said.
"Yeah, and speaking of where we're headed, I've been dying to know." Jay replied. "What are the other realms like, Lloyd?"
Lloyd soon walks between them. "Come on, spill it." Gewuji said. "We have to know what we're saving, right?"
"Let's just say the future looks bright, for us and Ninjago." Lloyd replied as the ship managed to reach Stiix.
As the civilians were starting to get off, Lloyd turned to Gewuji and smiled. "The sword also showed me what you would do. That you would be the one to open the portal. Out of love."
Gewuji blushes a bit. "Uh, probably love. But, maybe I-" She was soon cut off when Lloyd came close to her and they lock lips, surprising everyone.
Geoff was about to go at them, but Kai and Zane stop him. "He's really growing up." Kai said.
